Never heard Zeter! I’ve had a growing interest in BadBoy. The Summit line catches my attention as well. Kubota, became a dealbreaker with that rocker pedal…. Great review
I am retired, with 4.25 acres to mow & do various chores. About 2 acres are "yard" (short grass, mowed regularly) & 2.25 acres are field, requiring "brush-hogging". I WAS in the market for a JD 2025R, but after researching a bit, I am turned off of it due to the "negatives" I have heard of told by other owners & the news of the loss of American jobs/DEI BS (also the JD's poor performance numbers when stacked against its competitors). My brother-in-law had a Yanmar small tractor about 20 yrs ago & it was a reliable performer for its capabilities & had some neat features for the time. But right now, before I "pull the trigger" & buy a tractor, I am researching them hard as I can, to make an informed decision & spend my meager funds. Hadn't heard of the Zetor & even the Bad Boy is relatively new to me. But I am leaning towards the Summit for its price, features & availability as well as the reputation of its prime mover Mitsubishi. Just my $0.02. Thanks for the video & information, Tractor Bob's!
I really like the Yanmar. I just wish it used a skid steer quick attachment on the front instead of the proprietary quick release. It gives a lot more options for front buckets, grapples, etc.
Just bought a yanmar 325. It did NOT come standard with rear hydrolics. Dunno if it was just my dealer orvwhat but they wanted an extra grand to have one installed
I would confirm with your dealer that they gave you a price that was less than if you would have had the rear hydraulics. Yanmar was shipping them out without the hydraulics for a while because they were having problems getting the hydraulic kits in. The ones that are being shipped out now pretty much all have the hydraulics equipped.
What would the MSRP of the Bad Boy be with an added backhoe? Is it less than the Zetor? I appreciate these helpful comparisons you do with this channel 👍
This is a pretty good list but idk about the summit brand being in a top list , TYM or RK could easily take that spot , I ended up with the T25 its a nice machine for me !
I used my bad boy zero turn like a tractor cutting 6 to 8 foot tall stuff down and 2 in diameter stuff. So I I buy a badboy tractor I guess 🤔 I can start swamp logging. Bad Boy all the way for me and I am a really ruff on everything I touch and bad boy hasn't gave me a lick of trouble. Ps I haven even sharpener blade . I figured I would of mess it up by now but nope still going.
I bought BB 1025H with backhoe & love it, I’ve been digging stumps and so far I’ve dug up 12 stumps & no problem, they average 3’ to 4.5’ diameter, I was gonna go with Deere but they are moving so I moved on
Of all the John Deere tractors you pick a 2025r?? Which is basically a 1025r with bigger tires, literally uses the same loader and all. Save yourself the money and get a 1025r or if you need more get the 2032r . Brands like bad boy and summit seem to getting traction but the thing that worries me about brands like that is parts and service availability, brands like rural king and cub cadet that were fairly popular and go out of business. A few years ago I was looking at compact cub cadet that was very well maintained but I found out they stopped making compact tractors a while ago and parts were getting hard to get.
Not one of those tractors are a subcompact. They are all the smallest model of the compacts but not a subcompact, like the Deere 1025R and Kubota bx. I don't know how you blew that.
The bad boy 1 2 and 3 series are too small for big drivers. I sat on all 4 models and couldnt fit in any but the 4 series. Im not even that big. I love bad boy products, though.
Better, your Top 5. Who makes the Zetor? TYM? The Bad Boy is Branson, right? The Summit is Solis or International Tractors Limited, right? This is a poor list. People do your homework and don't take videos like this with a grain of salt.
Really?.. No New Holland? Case?? Most of your tested brands are some R.K. junk.. As a farmer for the last 30yrs.. I can tell everyone..these aren't farm tractors, they are Big garden tractors.. anything under 60hp that only uses a Cat.1 3pt. hitch.
I typed the word confused into tenor.com and the first picture was of Joe Biden looking confused. Gotta admit, It’s a perfect face to express confusion. It’s not meant to be political. ❤

Done with Deere. I was looking to get a Deere then they ended the jobs of Americans you know our neighbors. They shifted production to Mexico.
It sucks.! Damn JD.! 🤔
@@RobertPiec-k6j Don't forget about their DEI program that is STILL going on.

Thank you. Your video really helped me make my final decisions.

Agreed
I bought a Yanmar sa425 from you guys, wishing i had bought the Zetor now
How come you never compare Kioti in these videos?
I like Kioti, will consider for next video!
Dont forget the kubota b2401 if you dont like the hydro pedal. And the 2401 is a few thousand cheaper
Thanks for the comment!

It would be comparable to the zetor.

Happy you are enjoying the videos!
Great Outro music!!!
This is a pretty good list but idk about the summit brand being in a top list , TYM or RK could easily take that spot , I ended up with the T25 its a nice machine for me !
Where’s the LS or TYM models ??
Junk yard
I heard there were alot of issues with the deere in this size, the 25 I think.
Wonder where the LS mt225 would rank?
It would be comparable to the summit, Zetor, or bad boy tractors on this list.

Where are you located?
Is Yanmar or kubota build the more reliable engine?
Massey Ferguson tractors really is in the top 3 plus quite a bit cheaper then green and orange . And yes do the home work
Why no new Holland?

Those all look compact not subcompact
They are all between 24-25hp so technically subcompact or barely compact size.
No mention of LS tractor with the SIX YEAR warranty? seriously bro.
Not one of those tractors are a subcompact. They are all the smallest model of the compacts but not a subcompact, like the Deere 1025R and Kubota bx. I don't know how you blew that.

Why not the JD 1025r?
Why Massey Ferguson isn’t on this list tells you to do your research. Half the brands mentioned are unknowns. This video is very comical!
An actual review.

It’s top 5 subcompact tractors… not top 5 compact tractors.. or top 5 utility tractors.
So y’all don’t know anything about LS ? That’s too bad.
Massey
thanks for going political on a tractor channel. please keep it tractors only

If you're looking for a picture to show confused without getting confused, you can't go wrong with the picture you came up with.
